Our Dashboard allows you to organize your screen using multiple visual components each with a defined responsibility. The layout can be arranged using windows docking technology and you can have as many windows as you want. For example, you may want to have 2 maps with one displaying the world, and the second displaying the region where your media is most active.

More importantly, you can have multiple dashboards running on multiple machines, at any location, displaying different information related to the context.  This means you can display one set of information in your waiting room and a completely different set in your monitoring room or studio.

Audience Graph

The top pane of the audience graph represents the number of sessions per second for the last 5 hours.  Each chart series represents a given stream.

The bottom chart displays the number of connections and deconnections for a given second in the time. This feature is particularly useful to analyze the behavior of your audience based on the content you are currently broadcasting.

With both graphs, you can zoom, pan and select specific areas in the chart in addition to filtering your data (see below).

Localisation Map

The map allows you to visualize sessions on a map. Each country is filled by a color (by default a shade of green) depending on the number of users by country. You can then easily see your audience distribution on the world map. When you zoom in on a region of the map, sessions will appear in their city. One icon is displayed per city, and moving the mouse over it will display a tooltip with details.

Active Sessions

In the active sessions windows you can see the details of your currently connected audience.  In addition to accessing their geographical location including city & country, the player version they use and their connection time in detail, you can group them by country, city and player showing more high level facts in real-time.

Events Log

This screen displays the detailed connections or disconnections from each of your streams. You can then follow the detailed activity of your streams. This is the ideal companion to the audience graph.

Stream Monitoring View

For each stream instance, you have a view of its current load and status. This is the centre of our monitoring system.  Stream load is represented using an easy to read graphical gauge and text data. Stream availability is checked and displayed in a colored box.
